Chapter 6 Chapter Six

We retreated into the bedroom, and she was shaking nervously. I said: Sit down, we have to talk first. I don't know anything.She said: You know, I haven't been here, so I said: let's not talk about this, let's start with the facts, how did it happen? I have told you.I go in here and start undressing.I go into the bathroom, turn on the light, and I see You turned on the light?I asked. Yes. Are you sure it wasn't on? No, it was me who turned on the light.Then when I saw him, I immediately turned around, grabbed the first thing that could cover me, and ran down to find you.

rather alarmed? What's the meaning? Are you afraid? certainly. You don't know he's here? no i Take another look. I Go, take another look. I push her towards the bathroom door.She grabbed the door edge and the fur coat fell.She was only wearing a bra, panties and shiny dark stockings.She let out a short cry, still leaning against the door, ignoring the dropped coat.I said: Take another look. She said: What do you want me to see?Isn't a dead man in the bathroom? She broke free from my hand and hurried back into the bedroom. I close the bathroom door carefully: where's the phone?

right here. Oh yes.I said.I sat down, took out of my pocket a pack of the cigarettes she sold me this afternoon, and shook out a third of a cigarette.Reach out to her.Ask: How about one? no i I pulled the cigarette out, tapped it on my thumbnail, put it to my lips, lit it, and leaned back in the chair. Phone, she said: right here. I nod. Aren't you going to call the police? not the right time yet. Why? I'm waiting. What are you waiting for? Wait until you figure out a better story. What's the meaning? The police won't believe your story, and that's not good for you.

She suddenly became angry and said: What do you mean? I took a puff of cigarette and let it out slowly. She threatened: If you don't call the police, I will report. There was a magazine on the table, I picked up one, leaned back in the chair, started to turn the pages, looked at the pictures on it and said: Please. After ten to fifteen seconds of silence, she started to walk towards the phone, and she said: I will never lie to you, if you don't call the police, I will. I continue to flip through the magazine. She picked up the phone, started to dial, turned to look at me, and then dropped the phone back.Say: What's wrong with my story?

Two or three flaws. oh. There is one loophole, I said: the police will definitely know, the others may not. What will the police know? The point that can prove you're lying. I don't like your attitude. I also don't like having to use this attitude towards you. Well, you like to be smart, what do you think I'm vulnerable to? I fingered her purse on the table. so what? Your keys are in the purse. certainly. how many keys do you have She showed me her leather key case, which had a zipper on the outside and four keys inside. I said: Look, when you come back, you take out the key bag downstairs, you unzip it, and you pick out the key to your apartment.I think this key is for the street gate?

She nodded. I said: In order to open the door of your apartment, you left the key in your hand.You go upstairs, into the apartment, and what do you do? I told you I started undressing, ready I said: Get used to the action, of course you first pull up the zipper of the key case and throw the key case back into the purse. Of course.I did.God, I don't have to report every detail to you.I put the key case back in the purse.Put the purse on the table.I go into the bedroom.I turn on the bedroom light.I take off my shirt.I go to the bathroom.I open the bathroom door.I Go on! I turned on the light and found this man, I didn't even take a second look, I ran downstairs

Did you know he was dead? No, of course not, at least I can't be sure.I think he might be waiting for me. to hurt you? Yes, there is a possibility, or I said: your occupation, the place of work, someone will hit your mind? Don't be silly, no matter what occupation or place a beautiful woman works, there are people who use her brains? Most guys will think it's easier on you because you're running around showing your thighs. If you think so, don't blame them too much. They follow you back to the apartment? possible. They dated you? possible. How do you know the guy in the bathroom isn't coming after you for his life?

I have no idea. Then you think that if I open the door and go in, that guy is likely to give me a knife. possible. But you didn't warn me. I want you to see me as I see it. I shook my head: you know he's dead. Is this what you call the flaw in my story? no. Where is it? Your keys and purse. how? I said: According to what you said, you are very panicked.All you have on are bra shorts.You grab a coat, wrap yourself up, and run down to call me.This is far from the truth.If you put the keys back in the purse, put the purse on the table, and you were really panicked, of course you wouldn't stop, open the purse, take out the key, put the purse back on the table, and run down to me again.You will definitely grab the purse together and look for the key when you go back downstairs.

So you say there is a problem?she said contemptuously. Yes.I said calmly: You have the key in your hand when you go downstairs, which means you will use it when you are ready to go back. Of course I know that I need a key to enter the gate and a key to go back to my apartment, and both doors are spring locks that will lock automatically. I said: Because you know you still need the key, so you hold it in your hand after entering the door, and you throw the purse on the table, and the key is still in your hand.You take the key into the bedroom, throw the key on the bed, take off your shirt, take off your shirt, wrap yourself in your coat, stick your head in the bathroom to make sure the dead man is still there.Grab the key and run down.

Nonsense!She picked up the phone again with disdain and said seriously: Now I really want to call the police. I said: On that soft pillow, you can see where the key stays when you throw it away. Then she put down the phone and jumped up from the chair, rushed into the bedroom door, took a look inside, walked out the door and said mockingly: What a smart private detective.The bed had a comforter that even covered the pillows.Even if I threw the key on the pillow, it wouldn't leave a mark on the thick coverlet. I know. Then why do you say there are marks on my pillow? I said: If you are telling the truth, the key is always in the purse, you will not rush in to look at your pillow.

She thought for a while and sat down again. I said: This is what the police will definitely think of.I myself have seen other places where it doesn't fit.You would have liked me to see that you had very little underwear under your overcoat, to show that you came out in a hurry.You suddenly discovered Mrs. Kou's fault, and it is very useful to deal with her when necessary.The constant excitement makes you unable to even eat the stalls when you come out of Kong's house.My correct reasoning: You come home in the afternoon, undress, go into the bathroom, and see Subury's dead body in the tub.You are sure that he is dead, you sit down calmly and think for a while, then you smoke the half-cigarette and see that there is a half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray, and there is still lipstick on the tail. You put your clothes back on, and go out again. Take a closer look and leave no evidence that you ever came back and found the body.You ignored the cigarette butt. So you hurried to see Kong Feilu.You found out I'd been at his house, ruining your plans.I happened to be waiting for you outside the door, which made you even more at a loss.You procrastinate on researching the problem, and you're looking for a witness that you came home completely unprepared and found that thing in your tub.If there is no me, you will take anyone back with you.Since I have me, I am no worse than others, and I can be your witness.I will tell the police more seriously and forcefully to convince the police.So I was selected.You take the key and enter the gate, enter the apartment door.You put your keys on the bed and your purse on the living room table, leaving it open on purpose.You take off your clothes, wrap it around with a coat, take another quick look, and run down to play with me.Do you think I'll be hooked?Call the police and say that you only came up for less than three minutes, and She looked at me bored: well, what the hell do you want me to tell you?Get me a cigarette first. I gave her a cigarette and said: I want the truth of the matter. All right.Probably like you said.I didn't expect the key to have so much knowledge. Before you went out to see Kong Feilu, you found the corpse? Yes. Know who he is? certainly. know he's dead? Yes. Then what? Of course I think Mrs. Cole wants to blame me.He is with her.Now he died in my apartment.I don't think it's a taste.I thought about it again, no one knew I was back at the apartment.I decided to go out, first find Mrs. Kou's tricks, and then go to her to have a showdown with her.Otherwise, find a witness who can give me an alibi.At this time you fell from the sky. At first I hated you for joining in the fun, but finally decided that you are a good witness sent by God. I said: Excuse me if I have any questions, just ask them directly. what is the problem? I head to the bathroom: has he been here before? She looked at me and said: Come here. what relationship? The main reason is to ask me if the business in Lingji old place is good.It may not be possible to ask Mr. Ling to increase the rent. No extra requirements? Of course he tried, and tried more than once, knowing that I didn't mean it, so he didn't try again. Have you told him the business situation of the old place? Nothing leaks. I said: Let's look at the body again. We shouldn't touch anything, we should first It shouldn't be.I said. We went into the bedroom to the bathroom.She is very calm now, not panicked at all. I tried not to bump into anything, examining the corpse carefully.Apparently he died from a skull fracture caused by a blow to the left temple with a heavy object.There is a concave impression of a rectangular skull at the place where it was hit.I reached into the inside right pocket of his coat and took out a wallet.There are bills in the wallet, a lot of bills.There is a notepad in the left pocket.The front page reads: Su Baili, 3271 Fulu Avenue.Emergency Notifier.Su Youshi, No. 963, Ma Lao Street.My blood type is A.I close the notepad.Put the purse and notepad back. On the left wrist of the corpse was an expensive watch.I look at the time on the watch. Five thirty-seven. I look at my watch. Six thirty-seven. I backed out of the bathroom as if there was a leper in it. what happened?She asked: What's wrong with the watch?
